On Tuesday, Austin Film Society announced the honorees of the 13th annual Texas Film Hall of Fame Awards, to be held at Austin Studios on March 7.
The 2013 inductees into the Hall of Fame are actors Annette O’Toole, Henry Thomas, Stephen Tobolowsky and Robin Wright. Richard Linklater’s film Dazed and Confused, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, will also be inducted, and star Parker Posey will be attending the ceremony to accept the award.
Attending the awards gala fetches a minimum of $500 for an individual ticket, with table reservations going for up to $25,000. The after party, though, is in much closer reach: $30 for an individual ticket and $50 for two. All proceeds from the awards program go toward the Austin Film Society’s filmmaking grants and educational programs designed to find new and emerging film talent across the state.
This year’s honorees’ careers run the gamut of film, TV, music and stage, but as a refresher for placing the faces you’ve probably seen plenty of, heres a rundown of the nominees' more prominent roles.
Annette O’Toole
The Houston native played Martha Kent on The WB/The CW’s long running Superman origin series Smallville, which ran for 10 seasons and aired more than 200 episodes.
Henry Thomas
From San Antonio, he’s the wunderkind from Steven Spielberg’s E.T. Yes, that one. As an adult, he was in Legends of the Fall and All the Pretty Horses. He’s also starring in an adaption of Jack Kerouac’s Big Sur at Sundance.
Stephen Tobolowsky
The character actor has seemingly had an arc or guest appearance on every TV show ever. He was Kristen Bell’s dad on Heroes. He was on Deadwood, Californication and most recently The Mindy Project. He played the fey glee club teacher replaced by Matthew Morrison on Glee. And he had roles in Memento and Groundhog Day. See? Everything.
Robin Wright
You know her. She’s Jenny. The Princess Bride. Formerly married in one of Hollywood’s greatest tumultuous relationships with Sean Penn. Recently, she’s played a grownup Blake Lively (The Private Lives of Pippa Lee), Daniel Craig’s love affair (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and will star in David Fincher’s forthcoming Netflix series House of Cards.

Always an ACL favorite flag. At this point we’d be concerned if we didn’t see the Tacos flag in the coming years. (Do they know that we always share this one? Someone find them, please.)Photo by Daniel Cavazos
